It's amazing to me how God has to shake and jerk us out of situations that we know we had no business in from the jump. Sometimes, because of conditions that meet some want, we may have so deep inside we think it's a need, we adapt to people or circumstances that do not serve our higher good.
God said he will supply all of our needs according to his riches in glory through Christ Jesus, all we have to do is believe. Something inside knows this, but we still choose those outward things and people that we think will satisfy us at the moment, and sometimes those moments can last longer than we would want to admit; when we don't check in with God and ourselves, (just going with the flow). Admittedly the flow most times leads us into an array of traumatic incidents, when we do things in our own power it often leads us to regrets and missteps, which actually prolongs our stay in the circumstance.
Expecting things from people that only God can supply will only leave us discontented and frustrated, with them but mostly with ourselves. To know to do a thing and do the complete opposite is becoming all too human, the word of God says, "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make straight your paths." This is not the easiest thing to do but it's something we must learn to practice, if not we will find ourselves jerked around by all types of traumatic experiences: that, if we just trust God wholly, would be easily avoided.
Thanks for listening.❤️
